Durarara!! Game Announced For PSP

Dengeki magazine publisher ASCII Media Works have announced a new Durarara!! adventure game for PSP via Dengeki’s game sites, titled Durarara!! 3way Standoff. No real details are available on the net just yet, except that the game will feature most of the original voice cast and will release in Summer 2010.

The latest issue of Dengeki Bunko, however, contains more information with screenshots, which super-tipper Anton sounded us off about from his ongoing trip to Japan. Durarara!! 3way Standoff is being developed by NetchuBiyori, who are also working on a Wii game, and a Spice & Wolf game for DS.

In the past, Dengeki have published other visual novel adventure games based on anime series under their DS Dengeki Bunko ADV — among others — brand. Baccano!, by the same author as Durarara!!, is one of them.

As much as I love the genre, I have to admit, I’m a little disappointed this is a visual novel style affair. There’s a tremendous amount of potential for Celty and her bike in an action game. Also, what’s up with Anri’s character art?

Durarara was a huge disappointment to me! I would so love to see a game based on Bantorra!

Durarara didn’t disappoint me, I like it a lot but I totally agree regarding Bantorra. Just finished it and I’d love a game that got more in-depth with the characters and their stories. Watching the anime I imagined a action-rpg where you are new Armed Librarian, you choose your magical right and work towards supporting either Hamyuts to the canon-ending or Volken to a new ending in his idealism.
